Faber Piano Adventures: Accelerated Piano Adventures for the Older Beginner - Lesson Book 1: Accelerated - Lesson Book 1

Easy to understand.

Lots of duet parts for the teacher to play. From the beginning uses different finger for all the notes so even Middle C is played with all the fingers. Your pupil has to read the notes and can't get away with playing by numbers as in some tutor books. A very encouraging book for older beginners.

Item as described, suitable for learning the keyboard. Excellent

I've started to learn to play the piano without a teacher. Very pleased with my book choice, easy to follow. I've got a Theory and Sight-reading Books as well to compliment my Lesson Book. I'm on the Lesson Book 2 now.

My 11 year old started learning piano with this and has been using it already for the first 3 months. Definitely worth buying it rather than copying pages from another book. Decent price, solid quality and just what you need as a beginner.

I have been wanting to learn to play piano for as long as I can remember! I could never find a teacher in my area to begin with. But now I have and he recommended this book as an accompaniment to our lessons. As a mature newcomer to the piano, this is a wonderfully, easy to follow guide. After a couple of weeks, I was playing simple but encouraging pieces of music. With BOTH hands!

Great for an adult beginner

Great accompaniments make students feel they are playing great music from the start

It is good for adult who has just started piano

It's a nice book for begginers

My son started learning piano, the same book was costly at the store and I got a good deal here.

Bery useful

Este es un muy buen método para trabajar con adolescentes y preadolescentes que inician desde cero el estudio del piano. Lo empleo con mis alumnos y da buenos resultados.Sin embargo, no es un remedio mágico: es muy exigente en la lectura de notas y ritmos, al tener un enfoque metodológico, la dificultad aumenta gradualmente.Las piezas requieren de cierta musicalidad tanto del maestro como del alumno, y en muchas ocasiones es necesario tocarlas con bastante velocidad para encontrarles sentido.Una de sus mayores virtudes es que no utiliza siempre una misma posición sobre las teclas. Pudiendo estar en Do mayor, Sol mayor, La menor, o ser modales.La principal desventaja que encuentro a este libro es que es que al haber sido diseñado para alumnos anglosajones, utiliza piezas tradicionales del repertorio estadounidense (Oh Susannah, Amazing Grace, La marcha de los santos, Camptown Races), que en nuestra realidad latinoamericana tienen poco o ningún sentido porque los alumnos pocas veces las reconocen, por lo que hay que darles contexto.Lo recomiendo bastante.
